The victim has been named as Karl Hampton. He was in an Audi A4 with two other teenagers at 4.15am on Saturday when they had the crash on a country lane between Hardwicke and Elmore.
Karl, who is believed to be a former Severn Vale School pupil, was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 19-year-old man was taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital with non life-threatening injuries. He was released after treatment.
The 19-year-old and a 17-year-old man, who was also in the car, have since been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
Last night both men were in custody helping police with their enquires.
Floral tributes for Karl have been left at the scene of the tragedy.
His friends also placed a KFC takeaway meal for him in the centre of the tributes.
Pinned to the flowers were loving messages from family and friends.
